A goodbye to young adults
Celebrating the class of 2024
The Class of 2024 was celebrated at
a graduation ceremony with young
people, families and staff members
coming together to refl ect on
achievements made during each young
person's time at Prior's Court.
Spring House's Alfi e, Felix and Joel all graduated
at the event on the Track with staff members
and families joining in together to celebrate
achievements and fond memories.
All three of our graduates are moving up to our
Young Adult Provision so we don't have to say fi nal
goodbyes just yet.
Once again, the summer
brings several goodbyes to
our young adults, who will
be moving on to their new
placements.
The fi rst to leave us was James S,
a well-known face around site for
his sense of humour, kindness and
curiosity. James was involved in the
Prior's Court band, the bakery, and
had a number of work experiences in
Court House Building.
After nine years at Prior's Court, it was
also time to say farewell to Harry. His
passion and love of the outdoors will
be missed.
James T also had to leave us after
13 years to move onto his new
placement. James has made
signifi cant progress during his time
with us and we hope he continues
to thrive in his new placement.
After nearly 11 years with us, it was
time to say goodbye to Fred.
Fred may well be remembered
for his passion for land-based
activities and baking, being a
regular in our on-site bakery for
a number of years. We hope he
continues to hone his wide range
of interests and skills in his new
placement.
Henry is also leaving us after
12 years at Prior's Court. Henry
joined in September 2012 and
since then has been a stalwart of
Prior's Court life. Henry's bench in the
woods will serve as a reminder to sit
down and relax - something Henry
was an advocate for.
Lastly, we had to say goodbye to
Shaun. Shaun's work in the bakery, his
love of deliveries, and his enthusiasm
in talking to everyone) has made him
another staple of life at Prior's Court.
We are incredibly
proud of all
of our young
adults and we
are confi dent
they will thrive
and continue
to develop the
skills they have
learned at
Prior's Court.
